Haebar Posted July 26, 2003 Report Share Posted July 26, 2003 Anybody ever bought the Lure-Craft worm making kit? It looks like a good value considering the mold that comes with it allows you to make six different baits. I'm thinking that would just about be worth the $29.90 they charge, not even considering the plastic, colors and other stuff that comes with it. What do you guys think?

alsworms Posted July 26, 2003 Report Share Posted July 26, 2003 That kit is how I got hooked on this It's a great way to get started, especially if you've never poured a bait before. However, some guys have said it's better to customize your own kit. The downside to the kit is you're given 3 basic colors (red, black, purple) and half the plastic is the 502 formula, something you will probably never use unless you plan on making super tough saltwater lures.

Haebar Posted July 26, 2003 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2003 Can you add softener to the 502 to make it softer like the other stuff? : Thanks, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alsworms Posted July 26, 2003 Report Share Posted July 26, 2003 Yes you can, but it wouldn't be worth it. The softener would be too expensive. It would be about 1 part softener to 2 parts plastic, so you can imagine how costly that would get. You're better off buying the 536 formula, then add 1/2 cup of softener to a gallon.

Haebar Posted July 26, 2003 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2003 Chris, Thanks! What about Calhoun's plastic? Have you tried it and if so how does its softness rate? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alsworms Posted July 27, 2003 Report Share Posted July 27, 2003 I really like Calhoun, especially the price It's a touch harder than Lure Craft's 536; start with about 3/4 cup of softener per gallon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercury Posted July 27, 2003 Report Share Posted July 27, 2003 Isnt that about the truth, You can get 5 gal of calhouns for the price of 2 cal of lure crafts, that does include shipping too. By the time you figure in some softener, its still way cheeper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
